Solar Observation with a Dedicated Hydrogen-Alpha Telescope
Observing the Sun through a dedicated Hydrogen-Alpha (Hα) telescope offers a fascinating view of the Sun’s dynamic chromosphere, revealing details that are invisible in white light. Unlike standard solar filters that show only sunspots, an Hα telescope allows you to see solar prominences, filaments, and flares in stunning detail.

What is Hydrogen-Alpha Observation?
Hydrogen-Alpha light has a wavelength of 656.28 nm, which is emitted by hydrogen atoms in the Sun’s chromosphere. This narrowband filter isolates that wavelength, revealing high-energy solar activity such as:
✅ Prominences – Plasma ejections along the Sun’s limb
✅ Filaments – Dark structures (actually prominences seen against the disk)
✅ Plages – Bright regions in active areas near sunspots
✅ Flares – Sudden, intense bursts of energy
